A recent ruling by the NCAA Division I Council could impact basketball recruiting and roster strategies through 2026.
The NCAA DI Council ruled last week that all winter sports athletes on current rosters will be granted an extra year of NCAA eligibility due to the unpredictable nature of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has already altered schedules (including summer workouts, recruiting visits and actual games) for every program, and the game procedures and logistics are still being discussed – even with the start of the 2020-21 regular season just five weeks away for some teams.
The University of Hawai’i, of course, is directly affected.
